OAKLAND — The Warriors’ game plan has involved Draymond Green playing center field on defense, roving around as needed to aid in guarding others, especially Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant.

Coach Steve Kerr has made no bones about the fact that Golden State will leave Thunder guard Andre Roberson alone, allowing Green to roam.

“It’s not a secret,” Kerr said. “Every game you sort of pick your spots. (Roberson is) a really important player for them and a hell of a defender. We’ve got a game plan for him just like we have a game plan for everyone.”

Klay Thompson said Green provides the Warriors with a big edge on defense.

“He’s got some of the best defensive instincts in the league. When he’s able to freelance and go by feel, that’s when he’s at his best,” Thompson said.

In a nutshell, center Andrew Bogut said, “If (Roberson) makes five or six 3s and they win, we live with it. We’d rather have him shooting the ball than Durant or (Russell) Westbrook.”

By comparison, Durant averaging 27.5 points in two games against the Warriors, but is shooting only 43.7 percent and has 13 turnovers. According to columnist Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman, Durant and Roberson played together for less than 141/2 minutes in Game 2, but during that time Durant committed six of his eight turnovers.

Durant said he simply must move more, creating openings for his teammates, and stop forcing shots and delivering careless one-handed passes.

Kerr stopped short of calling the Warriors’ defensive strategy a rousing success.

“I don’t know if we disturbed him that much — he had 23 points in the first half,” Kerr said of Durant. “We’re just doing our best.”
